Oh, our aching backs, and arms, and eyes (and in the case of kids who 
are being read to, EARS)! I foresee a run on those library stands  --
the kind on which you display your Oxford Unabridged Dictionary, all 
9,999 pages of it -- for Book 7. For this book you'll only need one 
of those lap-desks ;-)
